OPERATION
SNOW THROWING TIPS
O

o
For maximum snow thrower efficiency, adjust ground
speed, not throttle° Ifthe track slips, reduce forward
speed. The engine isdesigned to deliver maximum
performance at full throttle and should be run at this
power setting at all times.
Most efficient snow blowing is accomplished when
the snow is removed immediately after it falls
For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each
path previously taken.
The snow should be discharged down wind when-
ever possible.
For normal usage, set the skids so that the scraper
bar is 1/8" above the skids. For extremely hard-
packed snow surfaces, adjust the skids upward so
that the scraper bar touches the ground.
On gravelor crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at
1-1/4" below the scraper bar (see To Adjust Skids
Height paragraph on page 17)_ Rocks and gravel
must not be picked up and thrown by tile machine
If the front of the snow thrower has a tendency to
raise, reduce the ground speed and engage the
weight transfer system_
